Renter beware
The house at a glance was nice, but once we got comfortable we noticed it was not very clean. The outside porch was dirty there was bird poop everywhere. The pool hadn’t been cleaned in months. I asked Alec if the pool was ready for use he said yes..He laid about sending a pool guy who never came . He said he would give me a refund and he didn’t.

Pool day
Cute house, we rented it for the pool. The inside was great, the outside should have been sprayed down. There was bird poop all around the pool and the hot tub part of the pool needed cleaning. The diving board had a huge crack.

Great East Valley Location
Easy to get to on a nice corner property. Quiet neighbors. Pool was nice and cool.
Didnt spend a bunch of time there but it was a central spot to Tempe, chandler, and downtown.
Would book again.

The perfect staycation
This place is so sweet! Great to just get away with the kids to swim, grill some delicious steaks and disconnect from the world and just be! We played games - listened to music - and watched movies then went for a nice little night swim!
My only complaint was - the patio was covered in debris from the heavy wind and I didn’t have a way to clean off the deck (barefoot it hurt) and the previous guests left food and we ran out of trash bags!
We will stay here again!
But the communication was excellent and the grocery store is literally around the corner!
So it was perfect for us!

Amazing Getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The space fit our needs for a group of 5, it was clean, the pool & outdoor space was AMAZING. Alec was a gracious host, providing brunch recommendations and answering other requests we had. He also had a list of suggestions at the VRBO for things to do, restaurants to try, family friendly activities, etc. Location was close to ASU, groceries, downtown Tempe and Scottsdale. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable. Overall, it was a great experience and we would happily return!

Great property, with a surprise
Overall impression of the property - Nice size house for events with friends and family. 4 bedrooms, which allows for privacy during the evening, probably the best part! Kitchen was average, with what seemed like a hodge-podge of kitchen utensils. The most surprising thing about this property is that there is a separate unit (east side of the house) that allows a different group of guests to have access to the pool and hot tub. The owner of the house shared this info with me on the day of check-in (4 hours before arriving at the house). To be fair, this was listed in the description of the listing, it was at the VERY bottom of the listing, in where VRBO.com requires to click 'More Info' two separate times. Finding out that we would be sharing the pool and hot tub with people we didn't know was surprising and unamusing, we made the best of it. If you are booking this house, especially for use of the pool/hot tub, I would HIGHLY recommend double checking the listing and reaching out to the owner, to confirm wether you'll have unexpected guests.
